An edge services controller may use a service scheduling algorithm to deploy services on Network Interface Cards (NICs) of a NIC fabric while incrementally scheduling services. The edge services controller may assign services to specific nodes depending on their available resources on these nodes. Available resources may include CPU compute, DPU compute, node bandwidth, etc. The edge services controller may also consider the distance between the services that communicate with each other (i.e., hop count between nodes if two communicating services are placed on separate nodes) and the weight of communication between the services.

The present invention provides a multi-load wireless power transfer system based on high-order Anti-PT symmetry. By introducing a “W-shaped” anti-resonance mode into a basic WPT platform, an effective Anti-PT non-Hermitian system is conveniently constructed. The “level attraction” of the anti-resonance mode is combined with the “level splitting” of the anti-resonance mode and the resonance mode, to study the “level pinning” effect of high-order Anti-PT symmetry. Compared with the traditional resonant WPT, the anti-resonant WPT has higher security, stability, transfer efficiency, and flexibility. Considering the miniaturization and integration of devices, a “meta coil” is designed by using a “synthetic dimension”, and used to construct a high-order Anti-PT symmetric system, thereby achieving multi-load efficient WPT. The new WPT technology based on the “level pinning” effect of high-order Anti-PT symmetry provides a good application research platform for enriching non-Hermitian physics.
